As we wrap up this Rotary year (just two meetings left but, who is counting?), it’s appropriate to thank each and every one of you for your contributions to another successful year. Whether it was volunteering for a project, supporting the auction, bringing in a new member or serving the club, Perrysburg Rotary simply cannot exist without the involvement of each member. Whatever your unique role was within the club this year, thank you!
Speaking of involvement, at last week’s Club Assembly, President Elect Jennifer Fehnrich distributed a committee sign-up form that each member needs to complete. If you didn’t have a chance to complete that form, please take time at this week’s meeting or email Jennifer_fehnrich@owens.edu for an electronic copy. There are a variety of ways you can help and we need you!
Our speakers this week are the Wood County Commissioners. This annual visit is always insightful and provides greater understanding about what is happening within our county.
Here is what else you need to know about Perrysburg Rotary this week:
RSVP’s are due now for Charter Night (6/19) to Ashley Lopez at Ashley.lopez@perrysburgrotary.org. At this point, the mail won’t be fast enough to ensure your seat is saved so make sure to email or let her know at the meeting.
Our first Rotary Social @ Social Gastropub will be held on Monday, June 22 from 5-7 pm. Stop by after work for a beverage with fellow Rotarians. In addition to the awesome company, this also serves as a meeting make-up! This will be happening each month on the fourth Monday so mark your calendar!
Due to Charter Night, THERE WILL BE NO REGULAR MEETING ON 6/19.
Congratulations on another amazing Rotary Community Sale. So many of you were involved with hauling, sorting, organizing and pricing over the last few months which makes this event one of the most impressive service projects and fundraisers in our repertoire! The money is still being added up but you can expect a BIG reveal when the net number is determined. We extend a huge thank you to Rick Gilts for stepping up to the plate to chair this event. Your leadership is appreciated!
Speaking of BIG…this week is our BIG GIVE to finish our $15,000 Every Rotarian Every Year campaign. If you have not yet given or would like to make an additional gift, we will have laptops set up right at the meeting where you can make a one time or recurring gift to The Rotary Foundation. We are so very close to making the goal and would appreciate ANY gift you can make!
So, what is our program all about this week? President-Elect Jennifer Fehnrich will be leading a BIG Club Assembly and providing a sneak preview of her vision and goals for next year. Each board member will share a little bit about their area and opportunities to volunteer. If you have ideas and suggestions, this is the week to bring them!
Are you a bike rider? Join the 11th Annual MESA Bike Tour around District 6600 from June 20-25th and raise money to send medical supplies to those who need them most. You can ride one day or the whole thing...part of the fun is the fellowship with other riders around the District.
Perrysburg Rotary has often supported this event by hosting riders on a food/water break but has not had a rider in the last few years. If you would like to ride and represent the club, be sure we will find a way to support you financially!
